(Updated on May 02, 2024)

Buy or Hold candidate since Apr 17, 2024 Gain 9.07% PDF

The Avista Corporation stock price gained 0.409% on the last trading day (Thursday, 2nd May 2024), rising from $36.64 to $36.79. It has now gained 4 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.49% from a day low at $36.30 to a day high of $36.84. The price has risen in 8 of the last 10 days and is up by 7.07% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -314 thousand shares and in total, 349 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $12.85 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.

The stock has broken the weak rising the short-term trend up and an even stronger rate of rising is indicated. For any reaction back there will now be support on the roof on the current trend broken at $36.22, a level that may pose a second chance to hit a runner. According to fan-theory $38.81 will be the next possible trend-top level and thereby pose a resistance level that may not be broken at the first attempt.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Avista Corporation stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $34.33 and $33.94. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Avista Corporation finds support just below today's level at $34.33. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $33.94 and $33.71.

This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $0.540 between high and low, or 1.49%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.41%.

The Avista Corporation stock is extremely overbought on RSI14 (78). Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but since the stock has broken the trend up, the chance for a major correction due to high RSI is very small as the stock will find support at the trend broken.

Our recommended stop-loss: $35.63 (-3.16%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 78 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 12 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (AVA) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 3rd

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 3rd we expect Avista Corporation to open at $36.64, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $36.01 and $37.57, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.783 (+/-2.13%) up or down from last closing price. If Avista Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.26% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ $34.33, some $2.46 (6.69%) from the current price of $36.79, our system finds the risk reward attractive.

Is Avista Corporation stock A Buy?

Avista Corporation holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.

Current score: 0.000 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded

Zero in score indicates that our system is expecting high volatility and risk for the following trading day. Given the latest developments, we cannot determine the next direction as it may go both ways.
